I mentioned in my photograph titled "Integration - 1" that the Fabian Way Park & Ride service in Swansea, operated by First Cymru under contract to the City & County of Swansea, was amalgamated into First Cymru's Service 8 (Bay Campus-City Centre-Singleton Campus & Hospital-Sketty Park-Hendrefoilan Student Village) from 17th June.

ESA’s upcoming JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft arrives at the satellite integration centre of the project’s prime contractor Airbus in Friedrichshafen, Germany, in April 2020, to undergo final integration.
The 5.2-tonne spacecraft will be fitted with remaining components such as power electronics, an on-board computer, communication systems and navigation sensors, before continuing its journey to ESA’s Space Technology and Research Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands for testing.
Expected to set out for its seven-year cruise to Jupiter in 2022, JUICE will carry 10 scientific instruments for detailed inspection of the largest planet of the Solar System and its moons, including Ganymede, Europa and Callisto, which are believed to host oceans of water. During its planned three-year mission, the spacecraft is expected to answer the question whether the oceans of the icy moons host any forms of life.
A result of cooperation of more than 80 companies from all over Europe, JUICE was built and assembled in Airbus’ facilities in Madrid. The spacecraft was then fitted with a propulsion system at ArianeGroup’s site in Lampoldshausen, Germany, to form the spacecraft body, and transported to Friedrichshafen inside a special secured container on board of an oversized transporter.

Greater Manchester Passenger Transport was given statutory authority to coordinate, support and integrate bus and rail operations in its area - a duty that carried over to its successor TfGM. In the 1970s one of the more visible signs of this was the Saver Seven - a combined bus/rail season ticket that was in some ways an ancestor of the more famous London 'Oyster' scheme.
Saver Seven (with its cousins Saver Monthly and Saver Annual) was extremely popular and was a household name in Greater Manchester. The PTE promoted the concept extensively and we see one example here - brand new bus number 8072, in an overall paint scheme that pushes the rail part of the ticket.
You could get various levels of Saver Seven. All levels included travel on all buses in Greater Manchester, no matter who operated them; but the levels gave access to more an more rail services to and from stations depending on how close they were to Manchester. A zone one, for example, went only as far as Whitefield but a zone five ticket included every station in the county right out to far-flung Bryn.
Saver Seven didn't outlast the abolition of Greater Manchester County and the deregulation of bus services in 1986, but there are today integrated ticketing options offered by TfGM and contactless payment makes it mainly unnecessary to carry a season ticket with photo ID. But there are plenty of Sever Seven tickets and publicity posters in our collection to remind our visitors of this popular phenomenon.

M 31, the Andromeda Galaxy, 60 minutes of integration into SHO with Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4 106/382 f 3/6 telescope, QHY 600M Pro camera, are 12 shots, 4x300 seconds for each filter, processing with Pixinsight and Photoshop. All data and shots were captured with Telescope Live. The Andromeda Galaxy (sometimes known as the Great Andromeda Nebula or by the catalog designations M 31 and NGC 224) is a large barred spiral galaxy about 2.538 million light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Andromeda, from which it takes its name. It is the closest large galaxy to ours, the Milky Way; it is visible even to the naked eye and is among the most distant objects visible without the aid of tools.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest of the Local Group, a group of galaxies that also includes the Milky Way and the Triangulum Galaxy, plus about fifty other minor galaxies, many of which are satellites of the main ones.
According to studies published in the 2000s, derived from observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope, it would contain about a billion stars (one thousand billion), a number greater than that of the Milky Way, estimated between 200 and 400 billion stars. However, there are conflicting opinions on mass: some studies indicate a mass value for the Milky Way equal to 80% of that of Andromeda, while, according to others, the two galaxies would have similar mass sizes. However, some studies suggest that the Milky Way contains more dark matter and may therefore be the one with the largest mass.
With an apparent magnitude of 3.4; The Andromeda Galaxy is one of the brightest objects in Messier's catalog.
Integration of the Orion spacecraft on top of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The European Service Module that will power the first Orion uncrewed flight, ESM-1, was lifted up and mated with the rocket in preparation for launch, together with the crew module. Integration began on 20 October 2021, and the spacecraft was secured atop the powerful rocket six days later.
Artemis I is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions for human deep space exploration. The European Service Module will power Orion's crew module around the Moon and back with over 30 engines. The European Service Module provides electricity, water, oxygen and nitrogen as well as keeping the spacecraft at the right temperature and on course.

Just got a new computer, a Dell XPS 15. The display is much more vivid so here's hoping the images look okay on others' systems...
Due to funding constraints, the City & County of Swansea has had to look at a different model for providing its two remaining Park & Ride services. Therefore, from 17th June, the two bespoke services operated by First Cymru under contract have been amalgamated into the company's parallel commercial services.. Thus the former 501 covering Landore is now merged into Service 34 (Neath-Skewen-Llansamlet-Enterprise Park-Swansea City Centre) and the former 502 serving Fabian Way is now covered by Service 8 (Bay Campus-City Centre-Singleton Campus & Hospital-Sketty Park-Hendrefoilan Student Village).
Alexander Dennis E30D 67433 is one a pair that have covered the Landore service for the last five and a half years, and carry a two-tone green contract livery. These have been de-branded and re-allocated from Swansea Ravenhill depot to Port Talbot to temporarily cover Service 34 alongside the two-tone blue pair from the Fabian Way service.

Managed to develop a fully functional midsection that bends and flexes. It uses two "linear actuator" like designs that are enslaved to a differential which can either lift and lower the upper chassis when locked or bend it side to side when free. Best part is, it will lift and lower the upper section *around* the cockpit housing, which will be mounted to the lower abdomen rather than the upper chest, much like how the original technical developer envisioned it. Or so it would appear to me. The plating around the abdomen is attached to a "spine" on the lower section, which should conform with the movement of the upper chest. It still needs some reworking since that frame is from yesterday and not fitted to the new structure. It seems to bear weight well, fingers cross that it works.

The five Alexander Dennis E20D MMCs (67091-5) bought for Swansea UniBus work have now transferred from Swansea Ravenhill to Port Talbot depot. These are the intended vehicles for Service 34. and the batch is in the process of receiving the red, maroon and orange fleet livery.
Recently de-branded 67091 is captured using the Bus Only link from the Landore Park & Ride site when returning to the City Centre in early 2019.

This photo from Northrop Grumman's clean room in Redondo Beach, California shows the start of the integration process of the James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope is seen hanging from a crane, in the process of being moved over the sunshield.
Here's a recent video about the recent successful assembly of Webb into its final form: youtu.be/Trh9ohPo-cE

This is my collage representing arts integration. This is previous students and each image is a child using the arts to learn another subject matter while discovering more about a specific art form. These art representations include music, movement, theatre, and visual art in various ways. This is close to my heart and when I see these children in their moment of discovery through artistic influence, I truly see arts integration work.
